Hey we are in the smifinals. Yes, we are down 4-1, but if I'm not mistaken didn't the Galaxy come back from that against the Metros last year in the playoffs? Regardless it can be done, has everyone (except Drunk Steve) just given up hope in here or what?
I agree. I am operating with a certain degree of gaurded optimism that we will make it through. I have been in a state of shock since the game on Wed. and am not sure what to think, but I like our chances.
You prepare for the worse and hope for the best. We have been down this road before. I would be lying if I said I was optimistic. But I struggle to really get up for this game. I am really hoping for some last ditch heroics. But game 1 and 2 should have been where they displayed them. True, better late then never. But my young heart can only take so much excitement. Hell, my family doesn't even want to be in the same house with me when I watch the game this Saturday. The Crew have 90+ minutes to prove to their fans how much they want. And it is going to take more than playing hard, they are going to have to play smart. Because with Taylor out, the Revs will bolt down their defense even tighter. You think it was hard to score on them before.
Twellman and Heaps are both out...I like our chances due to the fact I think it would be nearly impossible to not score if they pack it in for 90 minutes. We've had 2 games played. Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes in those 190 minutes of play, and solve the problem. I hope Andrulis realizes we are not gonna beat Adin Brown in the air. Personally....I'd like to see Cunningam rip a shot inside the 18 even if he doesn't have the angle. Not everytime...but just to mix it up. I guarantee if they pack it in thats how we are gonna score....a sloppy goal off of a deflected shot. There won't be anything pretty or fancy tomorrow....just balls to the wall soccer. Its time for Columbus to prove they are "America's hardest working team".
I'm still confident we'll do the business on saturday at GMGiletteboro. I don't think i'd be able to take the shame that goes with losing to New England.
I wan't some of what own goal was drinking last night. I think sdeshw said it best here. Guarded optimism. I still somehow see us gettin through.
2 free pints of guinness and a shot of jager with nikki at black and blue and then several pints of carlsberg, from a keg, mixed gas (70/30 nitrogen/oxygen, or whatever). it was good.
To steal a line from Drunk Steve... WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've stayed up til 2 AM to listen to this one...they owe me...C'mon Crew!
